“…Recently, using libraries prepared by liquid titration followed by high temperature annealing, Sn doping of In 2 O 3 to form highly crystalline films was reported. 197 The highest transmission reported in this study was 56.4% at 550 nm, substantially lower than values reported elsewhere.…”

“…Two local maxima in conductivity were reported, for Zn/Sn ratios of 2:1 and 1:1, corresponding to the formation of the amorphous compositions Zn 2 SnO 4 and ZnSnO 3 ; both phases showed good transmission ($80%). Other researchers 197 used sol-gel methods to dope ZnO with Al. After annealing at 1073 K, XRD peaks attributed to ZnAl 2 O 4 were identified for Al contents as low as 2 at.…”

High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient materials screening, optimization, and discovery. The paradigm started in the pharmaceutical industry but was rapidly adopted to accelerate materials research in a wide variety of areas. High throughput experiments are characterized by synthesis of a "library" sample that contains the materials variation of interest (typically composition), and rapid and localized measurement schemes that result in massive data sets. Because the data are collected at the same time on the same "library" sample, they can be highly uniform with respect to fixed processing parameters. This article critically reviews the literature pertaining to applications of combinatorial materials science for electronic, magnetic, optical, and energy-related materials. It is expected that high throughput methodologies will facilitate commercialization of novel materials for these critically important applications. Despite the overwhelming evidence presented in this paper that high throughput studies can effectively inform commercial practice, in our perception, it remains an underutilized research and development tool. Part of this perception may be due to the inaccessibility of proprietary industrial research and development practices, but clearly the initial cost and availability of high throughput laboratory equipment plays a role. Combinatorial materials science has traditionally been focused on materials discovery, screening, and optimization to combat the extremely high cost and long development times for new materials and their introduction into commerce. Going forward, combinatorial materials science will also be driven by other needs such as materials substitution and experimental verification of materials properties predicted by modeling and simulation, which have recently received much attention with the advent of the Materials Genome Initiative. Thus, the challenge for combinatorial methodology will be the effective coupling of synthesis, characterization and theory, and the ability to rapidly manage large amounts of data in a variety of formats.

“…A sol-gel route has also been used to produce arrays of Al-doped ZnO as potential TCOs through hydrolysis of a zinc acetate/ethylene glycol precursor in aluminum nitrate solutions. [280] Potential dielectric materials have been synthesized automatically by sol-gel procedures, and the sols deposited on Si libraries with a pipetting robot. After calcination, the libraries were analyzed by automated AFM in the ultrasonic piezo mode.…”

There is increasing acceptance of high-throughput technologies for the discovery, development, and optimization of materials and catalysts in industry. Over the years, the relative synchronous development of technologies for parallel synthesis and characterization has been accompanied by developments in associated software and information technologies. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the art of the field by selected examples. Technologies developed to aid research on complex materials are covered as well as databases, design of experiment, data-mining technologies, modeling approaches, and evolutionary strategies for development. Different methods for parallel synthesis provide single sample libraries, gradient libraries for electronic or optical materials, similar to polymers and catalysts, and products produced through formulation strategies. Many examples illustrate the variety of isolated solutions and document the barely recognized variety of new methods for the synthesis and analysis of almost any material. The Review ends with a summary of success stories and statements on still-present problems and future tasks.

“…In order to save the synthesis and measurement data as well as to evaluate the data a project-oriented database (MS Access™) was used [28]. The composition of the mixed-oxide library samples was studied by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with the system EAGLE μ-PROBE II (Röntgenanalytik Messtechnik) with the help of an x-y-z-table.…”

A method of wet chemical synthesis suitable for high throughput and combinatorial applications has been developed for the synthesis of porous resistive thickfilm gas sensors. This method is based on the robot-controlled application of unstable metal oxide suspensions on an array of 64 inter-digital electrodes positioned on an Al 2 O 3 substrate. SnO 2 , WO 3, ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , CeO 2 , In 2 O 3 and Bi 2 O 3 were chosen as base oxides, and were optimised by doping or mixed oxide formation. The parallel synthesis of mixed oxide sensors is illustrated by representative examples. The electrical characteristics and the sensor performance of the films were measured by high-throughput impedance spectroscopy while supplying various test gases (H 2 , CO, NO, NO 2 , propene). Data collection, data mining techniques applied and the best potential sensor materials discovered are presented.
